Cataract surgery removes the cloudy natural lens and replaces it with a synthetic lens. Because this is a very delicate surgical procedure, it requires high-level surgical skills, technology, and technique. At Y.E.S. in Ft. Lauderdale, we earned our reputation as one of the premier eye clinics in Florida, offering the most advanced systems for cataract surgery in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
Our eye specialist will create a small incision to access the damaged lense during the procedure. A tiny capsule structure is placed behind the colored part of your eye, or the iris. Once the damaged lens is accessed, it is broken apart with the laser and extracted. A synthetic lens is placed within the capsule, and the incision is gently closed.
Synthetic lenses or IOLs (interocular lenses) are available in high-tech versions that do more than just restore bright colors and clear vision. Additionally, multifocal lenses are available that provide sharp eyesight both near and far.
